a beutiful Psalm
I absolutely love this scripture in Psalms 139. I will share here for you to enjoy.
1) O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.
2 )Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising , thou understandest my thought afar off3) Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
4 )For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
5 )Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
6) Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high , I cannot attain unto it.
7 )Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?8)If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
9 )If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10) Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
11) If I say , Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
12) Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
13) For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14) I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made : marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15) My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16) Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written , which in continuance were fashioned , when as yet there was none of them.
17) How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18) If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake , I am still with thee.
Psalm 139:1-18
Absolutely lovely isn't!? This scripture is such a joy and a comfort to read.
In Him,

beutiful scripture
In my daily reading I recently read this piece of scripture in the 55th chapter of Isaiah. Beautiful reading I think.
So I am sharing it here for you all.
8) For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
9) For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10) For as the rain cometh down , and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud , that it may give seed to the sower , and bread to the eater :
11) So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please , and it shall prosper in the thing where to I sent it.
12) For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13) Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off .
Isaiah 55:8-13
I am in total awe of our our awesome God works!! His ways our greater than our earthly ways.
His ways are perfect, and He makes no mistakes. What a great and awesome God we serve!

How do you rate a movie?
Below is a post I wrote a couple years ago, and have decided to post it again. Hoping you enjoy! At the bottom, feel free to leave me a comment about your thoughts on this subject. I always love hearing form my readers! And if you know of other Bible verses that would go with this, please share those too.
As I am sure everyone has noticed the ratings on movies has drastically changed over the years! What use to be rated R is now pg13, and many pg movies should be pg 13. Its so very sad. There is no getting around the fact that our society's morals and standards have gone down the drain completely.
You probably have had someone tell you a certain movie was really good, and that you really ought to watch it. After watching that movie though you had to wonder what part of that movie was suppose to be good anyway. It seems a movie considered good to one person is bad to another. Why is that? We all tend to rate movies different I guess , but as Christians should we?
One person may call a movie "good" if it holds your attention, has a lot of action, keeps you on the edge of your seat, has suspense, or is a mystery or comedy; even though that said movie contains course language, killing, suggestive language, immodest dressing, and so on. I don't like that, not one bit.
So what is the right way to rate movie?
I believe a "good" movie should mean that it is something that God would be pleased with. I believe that it should match up to His standards and morals that He teaches us to live by in His Word. I believe it should be a movie we could comfortable watch with Jesus sitting right beside us!!
So saying that , I call a movie "good" only if it has no violence, suitable for small children, free of suggestive language and scenes, no dirty words or swearing, no immodest dressing, no fighting or killing, no lying, no sexual scenes, no adultery, no fornication. You get the picture, perfectly clean!! Unfortunately there is so very few like this.
I call a movie "really good" if it has all the above, plus is God honoring, encouraging, uplifting and inspiring. That kind is a feel good movie to me!! Makes you feel your time was well spent, and that it will do your family good. But for a lot of movies just the opposite is true.
It makes you wonder what the ratings of movies will be like in the next 20 years. I really hate to think about it. But hopefully the world will not go on that long!! Hopefully we will be safely in heaven by that time, away from this world's wickedness!
The same things that God dislikes, we should dislike as well! We should not find pleasure and enjoyment in something that is not pleasing to God. So the next time you watch a movie, think about weather God would approve of it or not. If you can't watch it with Jesus sitting beside you, then its probably not something you should be watching!!
Everything we do, say, hear, and see should be honoring and glorifying to God!! Always!
"HE that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also to walk, even as he walked." 1 John 2:6
"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer."
Psalm 19:14
"Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word."
Psalm 119:37
I hope that you are blessed and encouraged by this post.
